The author of Dieting Causes Brain Damage, Aussie comedian, cartoonist, and qualified cosmonaut Bradley Trevor Greive (BTG, to his friends) returns with this tongue-in-cheek defense of the superiority of dogs to cats as the ideal pet. "Dogs are social. Cats are sociopaths," he notes; "Dogs teach us patience. Cats test our patience." Whichever side of the fence you might place yourself, this book is delightfully illustrated on every page with the pet portraiture of Rachael Hale, who makes all of the furry beasts utterly appealing.
